Great news!

Hey everyone!
First of all, praise God from whom all blessings flow! Nolan's heart cath went really well. We are so excited. They were able to start his IV's, access his leg, and access his neck without too much trouble. We were not used to that! The entire cath was over by 10:00 that morning. When they got in to look at his pulmonary artery they found there was no need to balloon or stint! Everything looked as it should at this point. In September, our wonderful cardiologist saw the narrowing on echo. In October, Nolan had a cold so we rescheduled this cath. Here we are in December with answered prayers. We are not surprised because this is what we prayed and prayed for. It's actually better than what I prayed for. Thank you so much for praying for Nolan. God definitely fixed that little artery. 

I wanted to thank our familys for being there for us and easing our nerves. Uncle E (Eric Pentecost) brought Nolan a whoopie cushion to the Cabot Lodge the night before the cath. Nolan thought it was the best thing ever! Our parents and cousins let him "trick" them over and over. He literally asks to go back to Jackson everyday now. I am so glad that's the memories he keeps. This morning I told him we were going to Jackson for my eye appointment. He immediately went and packed his bag! He packed clothes, shoes, and diapers in his Mickey Mouse gift bag. He went and told Brent "I'm going to Jackson dad  I'm sick." Then took his bag to the door. We were so tickled and very very thankful. The boy is a mess and we love every minute with him. 

Again, thank you all for praying. Thank you to Brother Will for being there and praying with us. We are blessed to have a preacher like you. We plan to have a big surgery this summer. I will update soon. 

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24

Sucking two fingers and rubbing his ear in recovery. 

Thank goodness spiderman was on bedrest too! 

Getting those IVs taken out. He told Ms Laura Beth that was trouble! That's what we told him when he wouldn't leave them alone. 
Serious bed head the next morning 

Ready at the door with the bag he packed for Jackson!

Heart Cath Tomorrow

Hey everyone, 
We are headed to Jackson listening to none other than Johnny Cash, "Jackson" by Nolans request. We will have the heart cath to balloon his pulmonary artery in the morning. We are scheduled to be the first case in the morning. I think I got most of the crying out of my system, and I feel ready to keep my strong face on for Nolan now. Thank you for praying for us. Brent and I appreciate it so much. Nolan is one loved little guy. I will update tomorrow afternoon.

Nolan says thumbs up he is ready to get this over with so Santa can come see him!
